Alan answered:
I am a customer looking at posting 2 listings on housepad.com. In my opinion, no need to feed the agent more than you have to. Paying 5%-7%, some I see as high as 10%, to agents to do contract paper work that take less than an 1 hour is ridiculous. That's $5K-$10K lost on a $100K house which I had to sit on for more than 5 years. To all customers, if you can read and write in English, it will only take you 1 hour or less to do the contract. If you still can't figure it out, have housepad or other assist you and all you have to do is sign the paper when it is sold. These agents are shark, we the customers are guppies, that's what I learned in real estate class. On the other hand, if you don't have the time or have too much money and need to give some away, then go ahead and use an agent. Be smart and save$$$. - Mon Apr 28 2008, 11:14
